Got a nice render out of my hobby path tracer :)

From a casual glance, I think our path tracers have similar code structure (mine's here: https://github.com/voithos/muon). I've been meaning to integrate a denoiser in mine as well, but maybe I should just call out to an external process too...

Finally satisfied with my toy ray tracer project!

The renderer is completely written in C++ with no graphics API's and only basic libraries. You can find the code with a proper readme here - https://github.com/amanshenoy/ray-tracer
